Beverly Joubert

Beverly Joubert Instagram – For many years, our beloved Smokey – star of our film Soul of the Cat – was a constant presence in our home. Wise, affectionate but independent, and always watching the world with a quiet curiosity, she harboured a wildness behind those soft jade eyes – a quintessential quality that we’ve witnessed many times before in the wild cats that we have spent decades documenting. Today, on #NationalLoveYourPetDay, we’re reminded of the incredible impact Smokey had on our lives. She may be gone, but sharing our home with Smokey provided a special window into the mysterious world of cats and only increased our fascination with them.⁣

Our pets rely on us for care, just as wild animals rely on us for protection. Across Africa, big cats like lions and leopards face immense threats – from habitat loss to poaching. They may not curl up on our laps, but they are just as deserving of our love and protection.⁣
⁣
To support their future, we’ve launched a fundraiser for the @GreatPlainsFoundation’s Big Cats Initiative – a crucial conservation program @DereckJoubert and I founded to protect these apex predators and the ecosystems they call home. From now until May, I am offering six limited-edition fine art prints to support the initiative. 100% of the proceeds will go toward critical conservation efforts.⁣
